‘Live Ammo’ – Deputy AG loses job

An Indiana Deputy Attorney General has lost his job after saying in a private Twitter that “live ammunition” should be used on union protestors in Wisconsin.

Deputy A.G. Jeffrey Cox “is no longer” with the Attorney General’s office, said a terse release. “Civility and courtesy toward all members of the public are very important to the Indiana Attorney General’s office,” it added.

Cox, in a tweet to a Mother Jones editor, vented his anger at those protesting efforts by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to take away collective bargaining rights from public employees.
